The Ritz-Carlton Abama

A stay at the Ritz-Carlton Abama means you can enjoy sunny days on the beach and have access to a huge array of entertainment and facilities, all within a few metres of your hotel room.

This large hotel has 469 rooms over 10 floors, and with so many guests it really has excelled itself when it comes to accommodating and entertaining them all. There are an impressive 7 swimming pools altogether, along with a playground, a full entertainment programme for kids, and staff who speak French, English, German and Spanish.

Relax in the garden and on the terrace, while the pool bar serves refreshments all day. If you’d prefer to be on the beach, you need only walk 300m to get there and you’ll be able to enjoy free sunbeds and parasols courtesy of the hotel. Play golf nearby, or stay on-site for billiards, tennis and table tennis. A fitness centre, sauna and solarium are also available.

Staff can arrange car rental if you decide you’d like to take a drive, and the town of Guia De Isora is a short 5km from the hotel if you want to try the shopping, dining and nightlife there. Playa San Juan is just 3km away, as are the nearest supermarkets.

If you want to get out and see some natural beauty, Los Gigantes Cliffs can be found just 10km from the hotel. For more localised travel, you can jump on the mini train service which runs between the Citadel and the hotel area.

For a truly special dining experience, you don’t even need to leave the hotel. TXOKO, the new restaurant at the Ritz-Carlton Abama, will feature Michelin Star Chef Martin Berasategui, and promises traditional Basque cuisine and hospitality.
